My Favourite Trends of 2016 with “Gracious Beauty” aka Oliva

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends with the end of 2016 and the start of a new era, my girlie Olivia from Gracious Beauty all the way from New Zealand and I wanted to provide you with a little nostalgia and give you an insight into our favourite fashion trends of 2016. It’s definitely quite fun to see the difference in trends between the UK and NZ ; so differently go and give her blog post a read. 😀

Trend 1: Frills

Frills have made their come back last year… big time, they’ve been around for hundreds of years so just like everything else, what goes around comes back around 😉 . This trend was a particular favourite of mine in 2016 because it added a little dimension and shape to my outfits! A frilly blouse is the perfect thing to wear when you want to look casual but still well dressed. I think this trend is definitely one of the trends that I will carry forward into 2017 😀 .

Trend 2: Embroidery

Ahhhh, embroidery, this trend was all over the stores in the UK in 2016, especially embroidered jeans and shoes ! I found that embroidery added a dash of texture and fun to your outfit, it also made my clothing appear vintage without actually being old ahaha 😉 . It’s the perfect touch of elegance so who else is going to be carrying the trend forward this year? I know I will ! 😛

Trend 3: Mom Jeans

Ahhhh, what would we do without the classic Mom Jeans? I’m pretty sure we honestly wear them day in and day out if we could… without looking a bit weird haha 😛 . The best thing about Mom Jeans is that they’re so casual, comfy and nonetheless versatile; plus they’re extremely popular among fashion bloggers. It’s probably been on of the biggest trends of 2016 and I’m sure that it will carry on being fairly popular in the next couple of years too! 😀 It so does turn out that mom jeans are also one of Olivia’s favourite trends from 2016 so definitely give her blog post some love by clicking here or on her photo below!<3
